"Release Final" means that it's a stable release, and will be pushed out to everyone. Not that it's the final build.
Besides, we have at least 7 more major features to add, before even considering a 3.0.

Saitoh is correct. This isn't a DrivePool related issue, as this is how Windows handles ALL network shares.
Well, most. The only exception are the user folders (documents, desktop, downloads, etc) which appear to have special handling when on a network share.
There are utilities that try to watch for that, but nothing built in.
The only other option is to set the NTFS permissions so that you will only receive read, list and execute permissions. Meaning that you'd need to use a separate account for actually deleting files. Something that is a PITA.

I dont think this is a DP issue because This is how windows works with network deletion. The recycle bin is made for local drive content deletion. So if your on your DP from the local machine and delete something, it will go to the recycle bin. But from the network it is a permanent deletion like when you delete a file using Shift+Del or empty the recycle bin.
If you want to avoid deletion, then set your network share to Read only would be the way to go as you mentioned.
